Perhaps we should be grateful for what we have. I wish SSI would give Me $1,010.64(780 euros) a month, as that would be somewhat better than the $854.40 that I get now. The T1 Trust, PRR T1 Class 4-4-4-4 #5550, 1 of America's First HST's |

Perhaps we should be grateful for what we have. I think they get a lot to do nothing! And then they call it a subsistence minimum... rOZZ Music Pictures |

Perhaps we should be grateful for what we have. I'm unable to work for a living, I can only say that My body is not able to do what it used to do, some say well can't You do anything, like sedentary work? Sure I can go on the net, most work requires standing, But who pays someone to do that? No one... Sitting all the time here can at times put My left leg to sleep cause of a lack of blood flow, some need to walk a mile in My shoes before passing judgement and saying I get too much, just cause I'm not working doesn't mean it costs a lot less to live, only costs in gasoline go down, that's all, nothing else. Plus what about repairs or replacement of stuff like clothes? 2 jeans, 2 shirts and 8 pairs socks for Me would cost $303.91... So since I don't work and mentally and physically can not, I can barely do house work and then I take lots of breaks, If I sat on You Julie You would not be able to move much, if at all, that's how heavy I am...

Not to nit-pick too much but Oct 31st is all hallow's eve. All hallows day (aka all saints day) is Nov 1st. In some cultures it is traditional to gather in graveyards on that day to commune with dead ancestors. Pure mathematics is, in its way, the poetry of logical ideas. Albert Einstein |

It is close to or lines up with many cultures.. All Saints day, All Hallowed eve, Day of the dead.. Supposedly commemorates the day of the year when the veil between this world and the nether world is the thinest. The festivals have people dressing in costume to confuse the spirits and offer some protections, Jack-O-Lanterns carved into faces and light with candles to ward off darkness, young children in costume going from door to door with their taunts of "Trick or treat", origins being either give them goodies or they would perform some mischief "trick" upon your dwelling..
